WBEZ's Podcast Passport Presents: The Trouble with Shannon Cason

Trouble — we've all been in it. Some more than others. Some worse than others. WBEZ and the Black Ensemble Theater are pleased to welcome back award-winning storyteller Shannon Cason for a second season of WBEZ’s The Trouble. Join us as Shannon kicks off Season 2 of this hot new podcast, where he talks with others about getting in, and out, of trouble of all stripes. For the first time ever, this podcast will be presented in front of a live audience at the Black Ensemble Theater. Special guests for this live event include The Moth storytelling champion and host Dame Wilburn, live music from Vocalo Host/DJ Ayana Contreras (Reclaimed Soul) and a surprise guest from the first season of the podcast!

Shannon is no stranger to live storytelling shows, being a Moth GrandSLAM champion and a frequent Snap Judgment storyteller, and this live event promises to feature Shannon’s charismatic, personal approach to storytelling with the addition of music and visuals to complement the stories we hear.
